Toro Z master 52 tire wear problem

I have an older zero turn 52 I would like to say an 02 or so. My problem is this when I bought the machine the tires are worn if not bald on the inside of the tire and on the outside/middle of the tire there is tread left (not much). It seems the machine is tracking wrong or is this normal? Is there a adjust ment for it? Thanks

Yeah! Go on a diet, ya pig, yer bendin' the frame!!!
Or........check the frame for cracks. Could be bent or tweeked a little. The wheel motor mtg. bolts could be loose.
No simple adjustment that I know of, ya might could shim the whl mtr mtg bolts by adding a washer/s to the top two bolts to angle the shafts down a little and give the wheels a little positive camber. As they are now, they seem to have a bit of negative camber.

Most tire wear comes from hot roddin the mowers on pavement..not turf..
Uneven tire pressures will cause tracking and tire wear issues...
Reverse the tires on the rims and wear them down to the cords...
Or..buy new tires....
